Biblical. A Giant Cloud of Grasshoppers is Devastating the Argentine Crop fields



A devastating horde - of grasshoppers - which is decimating the fields of Argentina - 'The Cloud, is going to the northeast of the province of Santiago del Estero.

Government technicians recommend - the obvious - protect the fields (plantations). But how? The mass of insects reaches 5 km wide and 10 km long. The situation, unprecedented, began on Monday, July 27, 2015. 
(UPDATED ENGLISH VERSION VIDEO)

ARGENTINA. PROVÍNCIA DE SANTIAGO DEL ESTERO. The swarm of locusts is destroying the production of an important agricultural area of the province and in the horticulture sector, for example, losses are disastrous.

According to a survey conducted by the Dirección de Agricultura Provincial (Provincial Directorate of Agriculture), the phenomenon has affected the department of Bamda, Robles, Figueroa, Beltrán, Vilmer, Villa Hippolyta, Colonia El Simbolar, Colonia Jaime, Forres and other locations.



The species of locusts is not strange tothe  regional enviroment. Rather, it is common in the province: it is of the species called 'schitocerca.

The environmental engineer Guillermo Brim commented the case: The locusts have erratic route. They change of direction according the wind direction. (And who determines the winds's direction nowadays?)

The plague has already ravaged more than fifteen hundred acres of crops of vegetables like alfalfa, onions and carrots.

BWN COMMENTS: The prognosis of lack of alfalfa, mainly - is a big worry because this vegetable is an essential ingredient for the good feeding of all the communists governments that are ruling South America after to have kidnapped  the countries, the work power and money  from the peoples of that continent..

Horrendous Worms - Another weird creatures found at Taiwan



TAIWAN. 2015, JULY. The video was originally posted on the website Live Leak, where information is scarce, what is very common on the Internet. The footage would have been made with a telephone in July 28, 2015, on the banks of a river in Taiwan.

The creatures, with their strange and frightening aspect, are animals of this planet. They are worms classified into two types: 1. nematomorpha (Nematomorpha) or 2. Gordiáceos (Gordiacea) worms.

 

The hair-worms are dangerous parasites and are a risk to the health of unsuspecting bathers in waters of rivers and lakes.  They can invade the human body  penetrating any cavity. And this, it must be very painful.


These worms - that are also called 'verme-crina-de-cavalo or even hair-worms belong to a family of parasites and exitem 331 known species of these beings.

Their size can vary: small, 5 cm or large reaching 1 meter in length. They are very thin, with a diameter measuring amid 1 to 3 millimeters. Inhabit salty and sweet waters of almost all parts of the world except Antarctica.

The gordiáceos are typical of freshwater and are considered semi-terrestrial animals - like these that appear in the video. Their presence on the rocks, in the landscape - indicates that, in fact, the site is located along a river.

The language also confirms that the place is a country in the Far East, Asia - where exist about 100 known species of this worm.

The fact that a group of these animals be observed in this situation, writhing on the rocks, far from the water for much time may indicate some sort of contamination / imbalance / environmental poisoning.

Matamatá, the Jurassic turtle from Brazilian Amazon


PHOTO. Edson Souza

BRAZIL. ACRE state. On Monday, May 11 (2015), the graphic designer Edson Souza, 34 - on a farm near the town of Xapuri, 188 km far from the state capital, Rio Branco, was fishing with net in a local pond - when captured a strange turtle . The animal has a Jurassic aspect. It is a saury-turtle.

The biologist Moisés Barbosa identified the turtle. It is known as "Matamatá" and - despite the exotic appearance, it is a cataloged animal. Its scientific name is Chelus fribriatus, a typical reptile from  Amazon region. 

Live in areas of flooded forest and dams, especially at environment where water is dark, standing water, places where there the forest is preserved. It feeds, mainly - eating fishes.

The Matamatá has a carapace full of irregular ripples of rough appearance. Barbosa explained these strange features of Chelus fimbriatus: It is a prehistoric animal that inhabits the planet since between 250 and 300 million years.

It is one of the oldest specimens, which has not modified itself much over the ages. It has a large and wide neck. full of flexible fins. 

In water, these fins have an undulating movement what makes them seem algae. This acts as a camouflage allowing fish approach, potential preys for this ancient monster.

Purple Sky: Sign of Horror for the Chineses


Purple sky: It already happened before

CHINA. The sky changed of color at China. It has presented tonalities purple and pink. For many citizens, this is a frightening sign: a harbinger of disaster. An even bigger disaster than the torrential rains that devastated large parts of the country earlier this month of July (2012).

The floods, which have reached the regions of Beijing and the provinces of Handan, Hebei, Qinhuangdao - among others - turned roads into rivers dragging cars, destroying homes. While official figures record only 80 deaths, the unofficial count information over a thousand.

On the Internet, multiply photos and videos confirming the highest number of victims as well as appeals of citizens in search of missing relatives. However, thus that are published, these messages are quickly erased.

In the Chinese social network similar to Twitter, the Weibo, images of the purple sky are accompanied by predictions and fears that an greater disaster can to be imminent. Some users, researching the phenomenon of strange color of the sky, have discovered that, before the Tangshan earthquake, which occurred on July 28 de1976, the sky turned purple too.

The Tangshan earthquake, considered the greatest natural disaster of the twentieth century, with a magnitude of 8.2 degrees on Richter scale, left a multitude of dead who estimates between official and unofficial point numbers that vary of 250 000 even to 800 thousand dead.

Canary Islands: El Hierro island rises five centimeters in four days


Mar de Las Calmas, Canarias Islands

CANARIAS ISLANDS. The magma pressure detected in the Canary island of El Hierro has caused in the past four days on the island deformation of four to five inches vertically and horizontally three to four, as reported Thursday (28/06/2012) by the General Directorate of Security Canary Islands Government.

The energy released has reached 420,000 million joules, a fact which, together with the ground deformation, evidences the magmatic process acceleration on the Canary Island.

The General Directorate of Security (Dirección General de Seguridad del Gobierno de Canarias), which coordinates the Civil Protection Plan of Islands Volcanic Risk) (Plan de Protección Civil ante Riesgo Volcánico de Canarias), said that since the beginning, when was detected the magmatic activity, last Sunday, have occurred in El Hierro over 750 earthquakes.

The largest earthquake, with magnitude of 4.0 on the Richter scale, occurred at 18:55 hours Wednesday in Mar de las Calmas, 2 km from the coast and 20 km deep.

The seismic activity began in the sea of the Gulf (north of El Hierro) and then was propagated to the center of the island, coinciding with the point of intersection of the grooves and then - migrated to the west. At the noon of June 25, the seismicity was concentrated in an area that includes the west and the dorsal side of the El Julan, and at noon, on June 27 the focus of the earthquake begins to migrate towards to the Mar de las Calmas.

According to the esoteric geology, the Canary Islands are one of the few portions of land that remained above the sea level after the major part of the territory, that housed the mythical civilization of the Atlanteans disappearing completely, submerging in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.

Ophio... The "Zombiezating" Killer Fungus (that turns insects in Zombies)


An ant possessed by the killer fungus. IMAGE: National Geographic.

ANIMAL WORLD. A macabre fungus is transforming some species of ants in real zombies whose final destination is death.

The fungus, whose scientific name is Ophiocordodyceps, after entering into the victim's body, begins acting affecting the central nervous system, causing an abnormal behavior in the insects.

Slowly it grows, spreads occupying other parts of the body even reach the brain of the individual (the ant). At this point in the process of possession, the agent begins to neutralize the vitality of muscles and fibers, to control the mind; to kill.

The head of the infected falls over its neck. The ant is dying but, for some reason that scientists can not explain, the ultimate death happens, only in certain hour of the day: by midday.

After kill its host, the fungus killer emerges from the brain, evading through the orifices of the animal, full of spores, that are its seeds - ready to infect other ants.

Although it has been detected more frequently in ants, the Ophiocordodyceps (summarizing, the Ophio ...) or - the killer fungus, as it is being called, it also attacks bees, flies and crickets.

The Ophio ... the zombie factor of the animal world, is the perfect matrix for the development of a variant that could be used in humans which, incidentally, also belong to the animal world... And, NO. This editor is not suggesting nothing!

Deaths of Animals: Conspiracy theorists accuse HAARP


Crustaceans. Beach of Peru covered with dead shrimps.

WORLD. The most recent and significant case is ongoing: dolphins, pelicans and other seabirds and, more recently, crustaceans, continue (May / June, 2012) to appear dead in large numbers on the beaches of Peru.

In its explanations to the midia, the scientific community offers little more than speculation, assumptions, which non-confirmation, after the time that the experts have had to investigate, becomes very suspicious occurrences. Rumors about the causes of the ecological disaster spread and even non-human aliens have already been held accountable.

Rumors about the causes of the ecological disaster are numerous and, even aliens non-humans, already are being blamed.
held accountable 

However, this kind of animal mortalities are in headlines there are at least two years. There is not how denies that the phenomenon has assumed global dimensions. 

Among the informations circulating in newspapers, alternative magazines and blogs - and even in prestigious publications by their tradition of service for decades, a hypothesis has been, each time more pointed as the cause of these deaths: unknown and secret activities of an institution that exists shrouded in mystery: HAARP (which officially is the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program).

HAARP, a long name for a badly explained facility, officially funded by the Air Force and Navy North American with the assistance of the Alaska University, because this Research Center is located in the state of Alaska.



The HAARP, which is a network of 180 antennas, began to be mounted in 1993. But today, the facilities of HAARP are not limited to Alaska. At Worldwide, there are centers of the HAARP, includ Brazil and Peru.

This structure causes controversy even before its installation. Many scientists, environmentalists and peace activists - claim, or worse - denounce that the HAARP hides a war purpose with the use of very advanced technologies. Some say that this network of antennas is a geophysical weapon. This hypothesis was supported, for example, by russian president, Vladimir Putin, in 2002.

Earlier, in 1999, European Parliament declared that the HAARP is a device able to manipulate the environment in terms of climate and geology. Wasbeen manifested, still - the fear of this manipulation come to be used in humans.

While animals are still dying en masse and government spokesmen offer only promises of analyzes, negative laboratory results and hypotheses, such as heating water, but without compromising with statements, newspapers such as El Tiempo - Colombia, as publish headlines like this explicit, for example: El animales MARINOS HAARP continues to kill.

CHILE. May 21, 2012. This strange pillar of light descended from the sky over the mountains on the Chilean coast in the region of Cerro San Cristobal. But certainly the academic experts will say that it is only an optical phenomenon caused by refraction of sunlight into contact with atmospheric elements.

The Skyquakes


MÉXICO. At Tamaluipas, (state of Mexico), in the city of Victoria, on the night of 16/04/2012, residents reported, by twitter, have heard a blustering noise that shook the city's sky.

The noise, frightening, heard at around 22:30 am was identified as a "cielomotor" or skyquake in English. The skyquake phenomenon - is still unexplained for the science. It can not to be confused with a thunder but looks like a big explosion or implosion in the sky, remembering the sound of passing a plane, being - however, much more powerful.

The skyquakes have been reported since the nineteenth century in places like the UK, USA, Australia, Uruguay and more recently, Montevideo (capital of Paraguay).

Marine abyss swallows beach in Mexico




MEXICO. In Los Frailes, a town in the region of Baja California South, an area of ​​13,000 meters of beach disappeared. The strange phenomenon was caused by specific geological event called the "cascade of sand into the sea" or "marine cascading" which are micro-earthquake and its aftershocks (tremors).

Access to the place - which is part of the polygon Cabo Pulmo National Park, environmental preservation area - was closed to residents and tourists as a security measure.

The phenomenon is a real danger for people - who can be swallowed by the sea in the event that new manifestations that simply, suddenly, can suck, to the depths, extensive portions along of the bed of beaches, draging the living beings that can, eventually - be there.








The situation is being assessed by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources with the assistance of the National Commission of Natural Protected Areas (CONAP) and the Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection (Profepa). A preliminary inspection revealed that occurred a slip of sand in the proportion of 75 meters to the bottom of the coastline.








The head of the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT), Juan Rafael Elvira Quesada said: [in this place, exist] ...an oceanic canyon in a permanent formation. The cliff has already reached 100 meters deep and there, strong marine currents can drag anything to the bottom of the sea.

The functionary of the Fund for the Protection of Marine Resources (Fonmar) Mackaliz Juan Diego, said yet that the phenomenon on the beach at Los Frailes, in these proportions, already happened in the past, in the years 1947 and 1965.

CHILE. Lake vanishes for the second time this year




CHILE. Saturday, 31 - 2012. In the Chilean Patagonia, the lake Cachet II, lost its 2,000 millions liters of water or 31 meters of its level - in less than 48 hours causing an increase in the flow of the river Baker, the major river of the country.

This is the second time only in this year, that this phenomenon occurs. The first time - that it happened, was in 2008. This is 11ª time that the fact is registrated in these proportions. According to the Chilean authorities, in 27 of january (2012) the lake stood empty but back to full some time later.

The rapid depletion of water levels the lake Cachet II produces the correspondent increased of waters flow in the Baker River, the longest river in the country as well the level of another lake, situated in La Cologne. The flow tripled, increasing from 1100 to 3511 meters per second cubic. The level of the lake in La Colonia grew by 6.6 meters.




Population has fear of damages to property

The Chilean authorities have stated that due to the emptying of the lake, the flow of river Baker waters will continue to increase. It is necessary to take precautions. Residents fear that increases of the flow, the rise of the waters cause damages to properties closest, like floods on fields.

Scientists are investigating this phenomenon - the emptying process that occurs in some lakes in the Chilean Patagonia. The Direction General of Waters, through the hydrometeorological stations belonging to the Ministry of Public Works, constantly monitors the situation and, in such cases, the oficial organs are informed to emit the necessary alerts.

According to Spanish press reports, the director general of the Regional Water Questions, Matías Desmadryl, explained that: ...as this has happened in recent years, the emptied of the lake, so - this is an event more or least waited.




An underground tunnel ice

The causes of the process of emptying of Lake Cachet II, located in the Aysen region, about two thousand kilometers south of Santiago (capital of Chile) - these causes still aren't completely explained. It is assumed that the global warming is related to the event.


Two glaciologists, Andrés Rivera and Gino Casassa, are studying the hypothesis of the occurrence of a "GLOF" - Glacial Lake Outburst Flood - which is a collapse of a glacial lake.

The glacier Colonia - Chile, where where is located the lake Cachet II, serves as a natural dam containing the lake water. In recent years, heatexcessive, unusual about the glacier has caused the rupture of the ice. When one of the fissures of the glacier don't resists to the pression of the liquid mass, when the lake is full, a strong course of water runs through an underground tunnel emptying the place in a few hours.

Scientists think that in the case of Lake Cachet II, the tunnel stretches for eight kilometers, reaching to the nearest lake, that is the lake of La Colonia.

The two scientists argue that deflation - that is a natural phenomenon in glaciers - is favored by the high temperatures that have increasingly occur in Patagonia. During the last summers the temperature can reach over 30 degrees Celsius for several days.

The phenomenon is known in Chile and South America since the years of 1950 but there isn't evidence of similar processes have happened, in these proportions - in the past. Scholars believe that the occurrences - of this kind - could be - each time more frequent as a result of climate change. A. Rivera and Gino Casassa explained that the water does not disappear, just change your cycle.

The General Directorate of Water has announced it will make continuous monitoring of the phenomenon through the stations of the hydrometeorological network to registrate any change in behavior of the lakes and rivers.

The Morning Glory Cloud of Uruguay




URUGUAY. A photograph taken on the coast of Uruguay captures the beauty of an elongated tubular cloud (cloud roll in English). The phenomenon that is known as "tubular" or familiar arcus, are formed at low altitudes.

The cold air - that stay concentred on a down level of the atmosphere - this mass, passing by a condensation process - that results of a confront with another chain of hot air - suffer this kind of transformation - in its shape. The mass of air became a long, curve and horizontal line, a tube.

The image of this cloud was taken by Captain Andreas M. Cervo Wurff on the way to Paranagua, Brazil, Montevideo, capital of Uruguay. One of the famous places where is possible to observe these clouds is Quennsland, Australia, where they are called the clouds of the "morning glory".

Accessed In Youtube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQM9QdriZIo] - 11/03/2012


BRAZIL. A group of bottle-nose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) monitored the travel of the ship "Navio Balizador Comandante Manhães" to the Archipelago of São Pedro and São Paulo, located 1,010 km away from Natal (capital of the state of Rio Grande do Norte). At least ten animals swam alongside the boat, including some puppies.

Those waters attract marine animals such as whale sharks, tunas and dolphins too, which breed in the region. With an area of ​​17 km² and only 18 meters above of the sea level, St Peter and St Paul are an area guarded by the Navy of Brazil, which - by 14 years, has kept a scientific station inhabited constantly by researchers from several universities.



The islands

Only one island, called Belmonte, is inhabited by common islets and contains some type of vegetation. The relay of specialized professionals is made through the work program of the Archipelago of São Pedro and São Paulo (Programa Arquipélago de São Pedro e São Paulo - Proarquipelago), whose maintenance is coordinated by the Interministerial Commission for Sea Resources (Comissão Interministerial para os Recursos do Mar - CIRM), linked to the federal government




The archipelago of St. Peter and St. Paul (São Pedro and São Paulo) is located in a central region of the equatorial Atlantic Ocean. It is composed of five islands and numerous cliffs. The islands are: Belmont - the largest, Challenger, Northeast, Cabral and South. The archipelago's territory belongs to the Brazilian state of Pernambuco

Atmospheric phenomenon frightens residents of Brazil's hinterlands


BRAZIL, state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Near the city of Vincentina, during one of the many storms that recently fell on Itamarati Settlement Area, residents were startled when, during the night, a strange natural phenomenon occurred. 

A large cloud appeared illuminating the sky. It was red. It was emitting bright sparks, flaming and had unusual shape.

The visual effect is - really, extraordinary. But it is only an electrical phenomenon that occurs well above the earth and can be perceived at night when a storm is on the distant horizon. 

These occurrences are called by various names: red sprites, elves, blue jets, gnomes and pixies.

The red sprites explode in the clouds after emit a powerful electric charge in direction to the earth. The weak flares can spread for miles reaching the atmosphere there about 95 kilometers high.

They use to have tube the format or jellyfish, with thin blue rings under them. At its highest point, they can form lightning-shaped disc called "sprite halos." 

The color red is produced by the ionized nitrogen, the most common gas in the atmosphere. The Sprites can be saw only by milliseconds. Blue jets erupt on top of the core of a storm - the most electrically active region. Cones of narrow are formed and disappear there about 40 km in height

The amazonian spiders and its giant webs



BRAZIL. Amazonas state. Amazonas state. In the city of Iranduba, metropolitan region of Manaus (state's capital) - the trees are periodically covered by cobwebs of the anelosimus - specie nearby the family of the 'black widows'.

In some cases the entire canopy of a tree is taken by this tissue produced by this spiders. Every three months, the locals clean the trees but the colony begins to produce the webs again.

A researcher at the National Institute for Amazonian Research (INPA), said that the phenomenon is unusual, since spiders tend to live alone. She also said that there is no need to worry about poison because its effects only affect insects.

The sons of the Sun




CHINA. The video from China was posted in YouTube in january, 31 of 2012. In the footage four little bright spheres appear beside the Sun. Although stranger or even something apocalyptic (as a metaphor for Christ and the four horsemen of the end times), the phenomenon already has its scientific explanation.
